Britain’s top ten hipster hotspots have been revealed – and three of them are in Bristol.

Property website, Zoopla, has collected data from across the UK to find out which places have seen the largest boost in property value due to the gentrification of the area.

While two areas in Birmingham – Harborne and Great Barr - took first and second spot on the list, our city’s St Pauls took third.

House prices in St Paul's have jumped by 2.19 per cent since the start of the year.

In January, the average property in the suburb would set you back £250,297. This has now risen to £255,798.

When told of St Pauls’ placement, director of Hollis Morgan Auction, Olly Hollis, commented: “We have seen a huge change in both the prices achieved and profile of buyers for our recent auction lots in St Pauls.

“A number of flats and maisonettes on City Road have sold for record prices to young first time buyers.”

The final area of Bristol to make the list is Stokes Croft.

Forming the boundary between Kingsdown and St Pauls, Stokes Croft is another graffiti enthusiast’s haven, boasting its own Banksy as well as Westmoreland House which is used as a canvas for many artists.

The area has seen a property value boost of 1.43 per cent in recent months.

At the start of the year settling down on the patch cost, on average, £303,188. This has now risen to £307,528.

Jonathan Siggins, branch partner at Allen & Harris, said of the findings: “It comes as no surprise that these three areas have been picked out as hipster locations. They are all incredibly popular with an array of different people due to their melting pot of cultures and eclectic mix of independent shops, cafes and arts scenes.

"They each have a great sense of community spirit, have their own unique ‘vibrancy’ too, as well as being within easy walking distance of the city centre.

"There’s always lots going on – everything from annual, cultural and musical events to buzzing clubbing scenes and pop up restaurants and lots of different people gravitate towards these areas to enjoy all they have to offer.

They are places riddled with a mixture of professionals, academics, TV stars, artists, students and musicians and this is what makes them unique.”

Do you think the findings have highlighted Bristol’s true hipster hotspots? Has Zoopla missed any out? What about Horfield – home to the city’s own hummus-munching magpies? Or Bedminster, which made headlines earlier this year after being controversially dubbed ‘Bedmo’?
